Sony Ericsson has launched the Xperia mini pro, a feature-rich and compact smartphone in Bahrain, the company said.

Xperia mini pro enables access to over 250,000 apps on the Android Market and has a three-inch scratch-resistant, multi-touch glass screen. The improved user interface allows the display of up to 16 apps on the home screen.

It is powered by a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and runs on Google’s Android Gingerbread 2.3. It integrates Sony’s display technology, including reality display with Mobile Bravia Engine and HD video recording (720p), a statetment said. 

The improved Xperia mini pro brings the optimized slide-out QWERTY keyboard. A fast type and send functionality eliminates the need to open a dedicated app for each type of message, while a smart keyboard triggers predictive messaging actions automatically when slid out, it said.

It also comes pre-loaded with Office Suite and McAfee antivirus software, allowing consumers to manage documents and e-mails instantly and securely while on the move. 

Available at leading electronic stores in Bahrain, Xperia mini pro comes in the colours black, white and pink. – TradeArabia News Service
